"The
event of separation" was performed in the Tokushima Prefecture School
for the Deaf in western Japan on March 24. About 120 students from
preschool through high school and alumni members said good-bye.

The
school will change its name to the Tokushima Support School for the
Deaf and move to a town in the city in April, where 40 students
including eight new students will learn.

Another school, the
Kushiro School for the Deaf in Hokkaido, northern Japan held the last
graduation ceremony on March 17 . A preschooler and a student from
junior high school attended it.

The school will be closed at the
end of March and all the Deaf students will be transferred to a new
school, the Kushiro Tsuruno Support School which will open in April.
